I noticed that some webpages have certain copyright restrictions. For instance, you can often right-click on your mouse over a webpage to bring up the menu containing commands such as, "Save background as", "copy wallpaper", "back", "forward", etc.

However, on some pages are set up so that when you right click, a message will pop up telling you the page has copyright and that you cannot perform that command (right clicking, that is).

Don't they realize that you can just as easily use "ctrl + C" to copy or even go to the copy command under the "edit" menu in the menu bar of Internet Explorer and copy the entire page (graphics and all)?

 

Sometimes it a Flash site and you still can't get the source code

There's an option in Flash when you generate your movie that you click to 'protect' the source. It stops people dissassembling it and using bits and pieces of your movie in theirs.

A web page can be written in a very short time but Flash sites can take weeks or months to do so people are generally more protective of their creations.

 

Have you tried:
IE: View > Source

 

If you browse the cache folder of your web browser, all the images are sitting in their with autogenerated filenames. Looking through that folder might be marginally faster than capturing images with printscreen.

 

In any matter, any work a person creates in the United States is automatically copyrighted to them.

Unless any copyright lawyers in the house say I'm wrong, but I'm almost positive I'm right. The trick is proving it in court if a problem comes up.
